Hi folks, Next weekend I'll be attending a composing workshop organised by my church. One of the sessions will cover the relevant software. It seems the facilitator is going to be showing off Finale and Sibelius, but he seems willing for me to do a very brief presentation on LilyPond. I'm not familiar with either of those programs, and I don't want to be drawing direct comparisons with them---I'd prefer to simply let it speak for itself. So I'm looking for several things.
1) What does LilyPond do well? (I already have that the default output is far better than the equivalent in most software I've seen, and it is very quick once the basics are mastered. I'll also mention the integration with OpenOffice, HTML and LaTeX.) 2) What doesn't it do as well? (Lily is very difficult to use at first). Any other suggestions? I'd also appreciate it if anyone had files I could use that show off some of the more interesting features of LilyPond. I'll produce some printed examples, and if people start scratching their heads trying to work out how I did something, I'll have done my job ;-). Thanks folks, -- Cameron Horsburgh Blog: http://spiritcry.wordpress.com/ _______________________________________________ lilypond-user mailing list lilypond-user@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
